BzzAgent - Burt's Bees

I, Sister C, was given Burt's Bees Natural Skin Solutions to try through BzzAgent. Here are my opinions about them...

1. I'm not a fan of coconut smell, so it took a bit to get used to that. I don't think it has coconut in it, but that's the fragrance it reminds me of. I have no problem ignoring a smell if I know it's healthy for me :D

2. I have been using Artistry for over 10 years now. So I'm leary about using another product on my face. But I left my Artistry at home and only took Burt's Bees with me to Wisconsin last week. I have been using it for 7 days in a row now, just once a day because that's all I remember to do :D

3. I like it. My skin stays soft all day long. As the weather gets colder and a bit more harsh on my skin, I'm curious to see if this will hold up. So far it has. Artistry has always been fantastic to me, but if I don't put enough moisturizer on my face, I can tell later in the day my skin is a bit drier, especially as the weather gets colder.

4. I really love that it has so many natural products in it. Although I personally haven't had time to look at the back of the bottles to see what's all in it, I still love this product. I might even use it on my hands as they tend to get more dried out during the winter time with all the handwashing I have to do at work. Normally I do not use lotions at all, I stay hydrated by drinking A LOT of water all day long.

5. My face stays moisturized without the greasy residue that many moisturizers have. I love this about Burt's Bees. I do not get it with Artistry either, it's what I also look for in a moisturizer.
6. Not sure if I will completely switch over at all. I want a moisturizer without sunscreen in it. I believe our skin needs the sun, God made our bodies to be outdoors, so I don't agree in using sunscreen. This is one thing I do not like about Artistry. I love that Burt's Bees has no sunscreen in it! This is a major factor I consider as I look for a new moisturizer. And I did not see anything about sunscreen in the ingredients list.
7. The facial cleanser I think worked well. I'm used to one that foams up when you use it, and this one does not, but I feel like my face is clean, so I'm happy with it. I did try using it as a body wash, and I did not like it as it didn't foam up lol

I have several samples, if you see me - ask for one :D I also have coupons I'll share later :D
